If I start NT 6 I connect & load my charts from IB (3min) of ES.
Today I lost connection & I restarted my computer. I reloaded the charts and the chart/data isn't the same anymore. Thats kind of a problem for me as I use candlestick formations as an important element in my trading. What's wrong ?

The problem is the limitation with the IB feed. Their historical data is not the same as their real-time data. Therefore, after a reconnect, NT will reload historical data from their servers but this data is slightly different that their real-time data which is used to build your charts in real-time.

What would be cost-effective alternative for this issue ?
